Well here she is ... Miss November!
I wasn't sure I was going to get her borders done in time, but somehow I did!
The border design is my own version of "Tail Feathers" made with a series of elongated Four X blocks.

It's hard to believe that tomorrow begins the month of December.
Hopefully, I will complete December's block in a more timely fashion. It is the last block of this series and I'm anxious to have it completed.

I really do LOVE making miniature quilts and small scale blocks! This quilt is one of my absolute all time favorites. It's a 2 color Saffron & Cream quilt that measures 8" x 16". I designed/created it back in 2009 - titled Sarah's Choice.

I wanted this piece to look like something a quilter from the late 1790's to early 1800's would have pieced.

Each of the tiny half-square triangle blocks sewn into the inside and outside borders measure at just 1/4" square.

Taryn over at ReproQuiltLover is hostessing a wonderful blog link show on miniature quilts so I've decided to join in the fun. Please check out all the wonderful small quilts up for view at this online event!

Here is a picture of my November Calendar girl.
It's hard to believe that Thanksgiving is only 2-1/2 weeks away!

I have a LOT to be thankful for this year. My family (including my nephew, neices and their families) will be over for dinner this year and I am ever so grateful for us all to be together once again.

Sandy was much kinder to us here in VA - we were very lucky.
My thoughts and prayers to all the families in those northern states.
I pray for power and shelter as well as kindness and welcoming arms to those in need.
